    Whenever someone does something weird on drums, my DMs get flooded with requests to recreate them/test them out. I picked my 5 favorites and decided to see if I could recreate them and use them in some musical contexts. I love drums, I love weird things, I love drum mods, I love drum hacks, so I love when weird drum things go viral! A lot of these drum hacks are posts you've probably seen if you've ever scrolled through instagram. Most are actually sound really cool and are things I NEVER would have thought of so it was really interesting and fun making these funky instruments and testing them out.

    To answer the perfect pitch question, the notes in order on that one cymbal, from largest to smallest, are E, Eb, D, F#, D, F, F#, F, and Bb. I was surprised that the notes weren’t progressively higher. Probably just how the overtones interacted with each other.

      Most digital effects are based on real analogue techniques and processes so I'd say it's the other way! The analogue vs digital debate get's way overplayed though IMO, if a piece of equipment or a plugin motivates and assists you in being creative then it's a good thing regardless!

    The chainmail hi-hat is pretty bad ass. Sure you could achieve a similar sound through effects, but it's a crunchy and mean sound ready to go. The heat shrink on the hat clutch was such a good idea, never even considered that for different hat stacks.

    The pin toy on the tom sounds really good; would make for a great lo-fi hip hop kit and it's one I'd love to try for myself. That was by far the best hack imo. The chain mail high hat top was pretty decent too. The timpani floor tom was interesting, but it seems pretty impractical.

    A foot-tuned floor tom (14” and 16” ?) was on the market about six months after Iron Butterfly’s Ina-Ganda-da-vida record came out. It had a light-weight version of a standard tympani tension rod bell-crank system. I haven’t heard one. Iron Butterfly used single head drums and moved the microphones in and out by hand. A pitch-shifter could be used in recording Post. I did see “Iron Butterfly” (two or three of the originals and a few pick-ups) about six years later. I didn’t hear any pitch changes on their finale piece.

    That patchwork/chainmail is my vibe, in sound and visual. I'd drill the holes before cutting the pieces, though.

    The timpani has potential. I used to blow in to the air hole on my floor Tom while playing it and it sounded really cool. The hi hat stand seems to have the opposite affect as it’s pulling the head down instead of pushing it up.

    The pin toy hack sounds like a digital drum from the 80's- pretty cool

    The thing with the roto-tom frame and the pin-toy sound like the kind of noises you get from 1980s' sound chips.

    You should try the pinbox trick on every drum you can, even a snare. I feel like you could get some absurd sounds with it
